Jan Fleischer Vegans eat pork, right? All this talk about fancy salads (see page 28) is making me hungry. And in this town, that wasn’t always the case. I went vegetarian while living in San Francisco in the ’90s. But despite the rants I endured from vegan friends trying to convince me to take that next step, I refused. I had to draw the line. Cheese is good. Ice cream is good! Plus, I had a vegan friend who couldn’t even eat certain cookies because they had some trace of some ingredient that was once strained through some material made out of a shaving off a horse’s hoof. Or something. Being a veggie was a breeze until I moved to Barcelona, when the only sandwich option was sliced white cheese on dry white bread, and the only salad had iceberg lettuce, pungent raw onions, pale tomatoes and a single, sad olive.

A festival is part of a landscape, a system, a fabric. It is an exceptional moment that is connected with the artistic life of the City, which links with what happens the rest of the year, which serves as a window to show everything that has been cooking and that dialogues with its talent, with its citi- zens and with your questions. We are committed to creating a model that is attractive not only for its -necessary- rooster of invited figures, but also for the artistic value, for a set of national and international alliances and for its rigor and coherence. For us it will be a priority to weave relationships with all those artists, festivals or artistic events that are offering a possible response of interest to those relevant topics that we are all concerned about.

  • Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven***
    170 Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven*** Abstract Geographically, Spain consists of a complex mosaic of cultural identities and regional aspirations for varying degrees of autonomy and independence. Following the end of violent conflict in the Basque country, Catalonia has emerged as the most vocal region pursuing independence from the central Spanish state. Within the Catalan separatist movement, cultural heritage sites and objects have been appropriated to play an intrinsic role in supporting political aims, with a variety of cultural institutions and state-sponsored monumentality playing an active part in the formation and dissemination of particular identity-based narratives. These are centred around the themes of a separate and culturally distinct Catalan nation which has been subject to extended periods of oppression by the varying manifestations of the Spanish state. This study addresses the increasing use of museums and heritage institutions to support the concept of a separate and distinctive Catalan nation over the past decade. At various levels, from the subtle to the blatant, heritage institutions are propagating a message of cultural difference and past injustice against the Catalan people, and perform a more consciously active, overt and supportive role in the independence movement. Key words: Catalonia, museums, heritage, identity, nationhood Across contemporary Europe a range of nationalist and separatist movements are again gaining momentum (Borgen 2010). From calls for independence in Scotland and the divisive politics of the Flemish and Walloon communities in Belgium, to the continually complicated political mosaic of the Balkan states, there are now a myriad of movements striving for either greater or full autonomy for their region or peoples.

  • Itinerario-Barcelona-5-Dias
    ITINERARIO POR BARCELONA PARA 5 DIAS: PRIMER DIA: Hay diversas tarjetas para usar los transportes públicos de la ciudad y que sirven para metro, bus, ferrocarriles de la Generalitat (unas líneas de metro que van a la parte alta de la ciudad) y el tranvía. En cualquier caso, como os aconsejo andar mucho, es preferible comprar la T-10 que es la que usan la mayoría de barceloneses. Son 10 viajes en todos los transportes mencionados y en cada viaje se pueden hacer transbordos gratuitos entre ellos en un espacio de hora y media. Este primer día nos vamos al Passeig de Gràcia, que comenzamos a subirlo desde la Plaça de Catalunya. Allí ya admiramos un edificio modernista en la esquina y no será el único. Subiendo el paseo comprobamos la estructura del eixample (el ensanche que unió la Barcelona medieval con los pueblos de los alrededores con una red de calles). En cada esquina hay un chaflán, es decir una esquina en ángulo cortado que permite a los conductores vislumbrar los que vienen por la calle perpendicular y al viandante admirar perfectamente las esquinas de los edificios. Dentro de cada manzana de casas existe un amplísimo patio, muchas veces más amplio que las calles (como veremos después en alguna de las casas que visitaremos) Más arriba podemos ver a la izquierda la llamada illa de la discordia (la manzana de la discordia), porque confluyen diversas casas modernistas de diversos arquitectos, que rivalizaban por erigir la casa más rompedora. En la esquina de Consell de Cent encontramos la casa Lleó Morera (el edificio de Loewe) y más arriba, en la misma manzana, las casas Ametller y Batlló.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • Obsesión Definición: Idea, Deseo O Imagen Que Aparece De Forma Reiterada Y Persistente Y Que El Sujeto No Puede Alejar Voluntariamente De La Conciencia
    obsesión Definición: idea, deseo o imagen que aparece de forma reiterada y persistente y que el sujeto no puede alejar voluntariamente de la conciencia. Posee un carácter compulsivo y adquiere una con- dición penosa y angustiante. (Diccionario María Moliner) La obsesión es un pensamiento, una imagen o un impulso incontrolable y persistente que invade nuestra mente por la fuerza; nos asedia, nos angus- tia, nos aísla y nos paraliza. En un intento de aliviar la intensa ansiedad que causan estas ideas intrusas, los afectados a menudo recurren a actos, tan improductivos como irresisti- bles, o rituales compulsivos —por ejemplo, repetir palabras o números, rezar de forma desconsolada, lavarse las manos sin parar, comprobar una y otra vez si las puertas están cerradas u ordenar con meti- culosidad durante horas los objetos que les rodean. Las obsesiones y comportamientos repetitivos que adoptan quienes los sufren para calmar la ansie- dad, absorben su atención, perturban el equilibrio mental, interfieren en sus ocupaciones y relaciones, consumen su energía vital y, a la larga, socavan su bienestar físico, psicológico y social. En medicina y psicología clínica, la obsesión crónica que causa intensa angustia y altera seriamente las actividades diarias de la persona se cataloga como trastorno de ansiedad obsesivo-compulsivo. En la actualidad se desconoce la causa exacta de dicho trastorno. La teoría más aceptada considera que es consecuencia de una mezcla del equipaje gené- tico, la personalidad, el medio social y los efectos de experiencias traumáticas.

Over the last decade the capital of Catalonia has been the star of European urban tourism, as visitor figures have doubled. With the impetus from the 1992 Olympic Games it entered the world club of cities and became a global reference for international urban tourism. With sixteen million overnight stays per year and around seven million tourists a year, Barcelona has been the great ‘discovery’ for holiday tourism in recent years. This is an acknowledgement that now complements the traditional activity of business tourism in the city, which itself continues to grow in size and prestige. The Catalan capital has emerged as a major tourism destination. People from around the world choose it for their holidays and weekend breaks, due to its unique characteristics, as it brings together an intense and varied number of enticements and attractions in a city of human dimensions.
